Opened in 1840 by the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock & Ayr Railway (platforms on the left), this station is also the junction for the former Ardrossan Railway (platforms on the right), later extended to Largs. Both became part of the Glasgow & South Western Railway in the 1850s. The "Y" shaped platform building as well as the Ardrossan platforms to the right appear to have both been a later addition, as neither are shown on the 1857 OS map. View south. The separate footbridges were replaced in 2019 - see Image for a 2022 view from the same camera position.
